[quote=Anonymous]Here's what it sounds like to me -- the guy isn't totally ready to commit to you as a girlfriend and thus isn't ready to introduce you to his kids or make different arrangements for custody as needed.  This isn't a bad thing and isn't forever.  It's probably just that he's being cautious early on in a relationship, and that's a good thing!

It seems to me that if you start to get closer, a few things will happen.  One is that you will start spending some time with him and his kids together, opening up more time for you to be together.  You might go on an outing with them on a Saturday or come over and have pizza at night.  The other thing that might happen is that he will be more comfortable noting that he has plans to his ex and rescheduling custody for the week as needed.  This isn't going to happen all the time, but it could happen if there is a particular weekend you want to go away together or a special show you want to get tickets for.  It sounds like they already change the schedule informally as needed when his ex needs time for other things (work or whatever).  It may be be possible to change things as needed for him, too.[/quote]
